A portable email / browser (non-cell) solution?
Hi:
My work laptop is severely limited in terms of access - it is more than just the corporate firewall, the local permissions are so tight that I can't even get FireFox on there, let alone use webmail or anything else to access personal stuff.
So I need a solution to go grab personal email and limited web browsing over lunch at a local wifi spot.
I don't want to have to lug my personal Macbook Pro (or worse yet my 17" Dell XPS) around to do that, and the company also doesn't allow any cell-phones with cameras on site, so I'm thinking of one of the new UMPC's (like the HP Mini-Note 2133) or an iPod touch as a solution ... or something else.
I would have a few forum sites to visit as well as a bunch of personal email accounts (.mac, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc). WiFi access is not a problem, as there are a couple of free access points very close to my work.
Has anyone done this? What do you use? How well does it work? Any tips or advice?
Thanks,
Mike
